Formerly known as Hanna & Andrea, the Swedish duo re-emerge as fully-formed, futuristic R&B titans in the form of lennixx.

At only 18 and 20 years old, lennixx embody that kind of envious effortless cool that some people are just born with and with their newest offering "traded up." they prove that they have the musical maturity to create excellently executed, forward-thinking R&B.

With "traded up.", the pair's voice beautifully compliment each other, harmonising in elegant partnership as they interject into one another's lines. Yet when it comes to the chorus, they nearly spit their accusatory words as they says "Bet you think you traded up" with a brilliant sass that the queen Rihanna herself would be proud of.

Speaking on the track, the pais say "'traded up.' is about the release and happiness that comes with escaping a toxic relationship; whether it was with a friend or partner. Like, you think you have it better now, but you have no idea what you had, and soon you realise what you’re missing out on. When we wrote it, it came from a personal place, but we still had other stories in mind, we wrote it in a way that allowed people to openly interpret it and apply the song to their own issues…"

"traded up." comes with the release of lennixx's debut mixtape entitled hapap.

The hapap mixtape is out now and available to listen to on Spotify.
